Saratoga Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
TWENTY ONE RED (3) Improved late to finish 5th last start around here. Jaime Rodriguez is an advantage. Respect in this event. MAKE A PREDICTION (9) First up after a break of 38 weeks. Didn't find the line when 8th last time at Aqueduct but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Appears well in this. SPEIGHTFUL STORM (12) Worked hard to finish 3rd last start at Aqueduct. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Looks to be value. MYKONOS (11) Improved to place when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at this venue. Should muster plenty of early speed. Added confidence jockey with Flavien Prat doing the steering. Can measure up to this company.

Jumped at $16.00 and closed off nicely when 4th last start at this venue and drawn the rails. In top form since coming back from a spell. Could be in the mix.

Started $6.50 and didn't threaten when 5th last time at Aqueduct but will try to take advantage of the barrier. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Definite claims.

At $5.00 passed some rivals in the late stages when 5th last start at this track. More confidence with jockey Jaime Rodriguez guiding the horse. Definite contender.

Narrowly denied a win last time here and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should come to hand quickly. Not at all out of this race.
